Door and Windows

Window and Door With Trim Detail
We were going to use these two Jeld-Wen windows in the basement. Then we ran into code requirements for emergency egress. A little creative framing, caulk and some window tape, and they work nicely with the shed.

Window Security Detail
Rather than buy or build a window guard I used some leftover rebar. I had to hammer it through the holes. It's not going anywhere.

I considered a classic shed door. But we've had a door sitting on the porch for over a year, another casualty of the basement remodel. We gave it two coats of Golden Oak stain and three of Marine Spar Varnish.

The 4x4 Strong-Tie fastener is actual 4"x4", not nominal.

A piece of galvanized steel and a hand bender provided a temporary sill.
